UK tech is back.

The UK's share of European venture capital is at an all-time high: 48% so far in 2026, compared to long-run average of 35.5%.

The driver is a run of mega-rounds, with AI doing the heavy lifting:
🧬 @IsomorphicLabs — $2.1B Series B
☁️ @nscale — $2B Series C
🚙 @wayve_ai — $1.2B Series D
💡 Ineffable Intelligence — $1.1B Seed
♻️ Recursive Superintelligence — $650M Seed
🎤 @ElevenLabs — $500M Series D

London is once again Europe's standout VC market.

No urgency at all from Arsenal. Just sideways/backwards movement and no pressing. It's honestly embarrassing to be three games away from the trophy and play like this.

Harvey v. Legora is my reality television

Harvey got Gabriel Spector from Suits to sign (but hasn't done anything yet). Legora counters with actual Jude Law ad.

Legora gets the Yankees/Aaron Judge. Harvey gets the US Open.

Harvey switch from Cooley to Latham for deal counsel. Cooley switches to Legora internally.

Legal tech has DRAMA and HOT PEOPLE now. Reaffirming my take that there has never been a better time to be a lawyer.

@Coach_Yac I'm a MASSIVE niners fan but Raheem Morris is a huge miss.

@BBCSport Then runs out wide, England miss the conversion and lose by 2 points. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@MikeyHotspurs A few years ago under Wenger arsenal played amazing, beautiful football and what did everyone say? Screw the beauty they don't win any trophies. So now they're winning trophies and the beautiful football is gone and everyone's complaining again.

[Howard Watt @VanWatt]

@MikeyHotspurs Not true. I'm old enough to have watched Everton win the 95 FA cup by constantly playing for Andy hinchcliffe taken corners. Greece also won the euros through set piece focus. It's not just pep and Mikel it's been around forever. The real disease is the over focus on trophies

🚨Let me explain what just happened because I don't think people understand how insane this is.

> A woman asked ChatGPT for legal help. It told her to fire her real lawyer. She did.

> Then it wrote 40+ court filings citing laws that don't exist. Cases that never happened. Judges that never ruled.

> The other side spent $300,000 responding to completely made up legal documents.

> An AI hallucinated an entire legal career and nobody noticed for months.

> OpenAI is now being sued for $10 million.

And this is the same company that just signed a deal with the Pentagon.

They can't even stop their AI from faking court cases. But sure, give it access to military intelligence. What could possibly go wrong.
